HELLO PARISHIONERS - THANK YOU to everyone who stayed to pass our by-laws and other incorporation-related resolutions last Sunday. Who knew we'd have such a great turnout? This Sunday, don't forget our cookout and potluck after the 10 am service. See more on that below, and please plan to be there if you can! Have a good weekend, and see you Sunday,
Astrid
